Crime Information Center

In January 1967 a new rival to the scientific laboratory and fingerprint identification service provided to all police agencies emerged in the National Crime Information Center. This computerized index of information concerning crime and criminals was installed in the Washington headquarters of the FBI, to complement the metropolitan and statewide electronic systems. The center includes data on stolen automobiles, certain stolen property, and all wanted persons. More than one million active records are on file. Vigorous reasearch continues on the collection and storage of other crimi9nal statistics and crime data. The center's vital information is available almost immediately to any police officer through radio communication and electronic means.

Average citizens are informed of the crime trends in the nation and their own community through the Uniform Crime Reporting Program, which collects, analyzes, and publishes crime figures for the Unites States.
